I feel like they should all at LEAST be tested by me first before encouraging others to try...

Thoughts?


Id like to see it ran/tested through you, but I don't
see any harm getting a "preliminary" guide out or at
least a basic run through until you can get a more
detailed/tested walkthrough done yourself.

Im sorry for the redring too, I also feel some of
your pain with the reloacting process; Im just barely
getting over the hump as well.

What say the collective?

Hey guys!

Wow. It's been crazy lately. I'm moving to a different city, switching jobs, and for those who have noticed my recent abscence on XBL for the past few weeks, yes I got the dreaded red ring :-(

Lots of projects going on now. I'll hopefully be done with the filming of "Shrine" in the next month or so in addition to a few other little film goodies for those of you who enjoy my work with the Halo 3 guides.

Ideally, I'd like to get the ODST guide out before the summer, but now I've run into a dilema. In the event that I can't get the Xbox fixed/replaced in time and can't finish the Mythic guide for Coastal Highway, should I pull a Mythic first and use someone elses video instead? I feel like they should all at LEAST be tested by me first before encouraging others to try...

Thoughts?
You sound very busy. Good luck with finishing your film and hope you get your xbox back soon!

As for the Mythic guide for ODST, you could simply delay the Coastal Highway part if you want to try it yourself. If you want someone else's video, I'm pretty sure that we all attempted it in a similar way, but some people might have better strategies for certain parts than others. I'd go with a faster run, like Hubb's run. I haven't watched it, but logically he's doing something right if he's doing it fast.

I agree with this. You could always make a 2.0 guide later if you want to just get a Mythic Coastal Highway guide out there sooner.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

Sounds like a good idea guys :-) I might even be able to talk my brother into letting me use his box since he's right here in town now.

Looks like I'll be getting started on the new guide as early as next week starting with the first flashback. Still debating on how to handle the "streets". Any thoughts?

And thanks for the comments, guys. Good to know you're still here :-)

Most of us haven't done the streets... mostly because it's difficult to track and there isn't too much combat in them (except for the time you travel to Data Hive). I'd just do the 8 normal levels.

To stay on topic, I re-watched some of me and Dark's Mythic runs, and man. I'm definitely watching more later, I watched memories that just rushed back, like how we melee'd the Hunters in The Storm and killed the first one but waited until the Marines were killed by the second one because they kept grenade spamming.

I couldn't find the ODST equivelent... The ODST forum is near dead. It's possible that no one posted in there and the thread is no longer active.

Possibly...

As long as I'm not dead, that thread is not dead. Same with this one actually. Or maybe not this thread because Reach might sink it. Better be a good Mythic experience there.

SLASO isn't actually all that difficult if you take it slow and focus. Also put a piece of blue tack in the middle of your screen for a reticle.

If you need an aimer to help you, I doubt you'd be able to do Mythic. The lack of an aimer is not the reason Blind skull sucks.

I still maintain that Blind doesn't really suck that much. After a while I really began to appreciate the extra view courtesy of not having my weapon visible. The only thing that puts people off is that they have to relearn everything so to speak when Blind is active.

For me it's all about the shield bar.

I don't play with vibration on, so sometimes I'm basically left guessing as to whether I got hit, and my shields can be fully depleted when I think they're just slightly low, which doesn't always end well an hour into a mission.

That would be horrendous. I couldn't imagine playing with Blind and no vibration. No vibration already throwsmy aim and awareness off in regular play, losing the HUD too would leave me crippled.

I don't play with vibration at all. It throws off my aim with the Spartan Laser so I switched it off a long time ago. But when I was first starting out with Mythic, I spent a LOT of time viewing myself from third person perspective. lol.

  • 04.17.2010 11:16 PM PDT

I thought about trying it but im not pro enough.

Also its nice to see my friend Shelburne up there!

This. And I don't play with the volume on, so this and grenades.

Neither do I. It makes it more harder for me to concentrate.

I didn't play with my vibration on either. I turned it off long before I tried Mythic, and going back seemed to hurt more than it helped. Basically, I just took advantage of anything I could to check my shields (vehicles, turrets, etc.) I would even sometimes carry around a turret just to have something to use to check my shields after large battles.

Basically, shields were dropped after 3 plasma shots anyways, so whether it was there or not didn't really bother me too much. If you were ever in a situation where you really needed it, you probably were in trouble to begin with.

Same. I figured the flashing lights and sounds were enough to let me know I was in trouble. Vibrating hands only hurt. I took advantage of the 3rd person stuff as well. Quite helpful.

Guess the vibration thing is just me then. *shrugs*
I have used turrets, vehicles and such to do shield checks though. It's when the shields are gone and you try to judge health that you just need to instinctively know how much more damage can be taken.
